    I did not know about trip check. Thanks I checked it out and looks all clear. And yes I have the Atlas I was driving and did not have time to pull over. Just voice message my question on here to check before I got stopped.

    Take 126 out to 20. You may not go through Sweet Home with a 53 foot trailer. You will get hung up.

    Looks like I am a little closer to Salem and could take 22. Just a few miles difference either way, Is 126 a better road then 22 to take and worth 10-15 miles difference?

    22 is fine. I didn’t see where you started out from. Not a lot of places to stop, lots of twists and turns but it is a good truck route.
     
    tscottme and Siinman Thank this.

    I would take 22. Rural miles are better miles, IMO

    The Sinclair in Burns, OR is the only truck stop in the area. I think it's Jimmy's Truck stop and it is just as you enter town on the left.
     
    Siinman Thanks this.

    Thank you I will plan on heading that way here in a few minutes. Almost loaded now so should be a good trip back to MO.

    There are a few big chain truck stops in Ontario, OR near the Idaho border with OR. There is a loves and a Pilot and there is a Flying J nearby in Caldwell, ID. Going through Boise, if you don't need to stop at the TA or tiny Flying J there, stay in the 2nd or third lane from the left lane. The TA exit is an exit only lane. You might stop at the Boise Stage Stop I-84 Exit 71. It's an older style of truck stop with sit down restaurant and good food. Enjoy the high speed limits in Utah, just obey the advisory curve speed limits.
     
    Coffey and Siinman Thank this.

    JIC you need any of those
